Our multi-campus rotation approach provides a truly unique learning experience that mixes the classical side of fashion in Paris, the fast-changing fashion and luxury world in Shanghai and the well-connected and most strategic location for all kinds of trades in Istanbul.

Our course offerings were created based on real industry demand to help prepare students for life after their education. In keeping with its strategy to anticipate industry evolutions, IFA Paris has developed cutting edge programs in Fashion Tech and Sustainable development giving our students the unprecedented ability to be ahead of the curve.
